Issue 1: In the movie, Frank Jr. cashes over $4 million in fraudulent checks. The issue is whether he has to realize income and recognize gross income.
Rule: According to the rule, when a taxpayer sells or disposes of property, this triggers a realized gain/loss.

The Adjusted Basis is (Initial Basis +Capital Additions –Capital Recoveries). Taxpayers must recognize the gain/loss unless there is a special rule that states otherwise.

FACTS: Anthony and Alcibia Jeanmarie sold a house to a woman named Melanie Murray. Murray used two loans with balances of $104,000 and $26,000 from Encore Credit Corporation to secure the mortgage for the property. Mark Peoples, who works for Pyramid Title, LLC, made sure to sign the check of $110,303.86 to pay the Jeanmaries for the property sold. However, there were insufficient funds for the company since the loan of $26,000 was not “timely funded,” according to Peoples. The Jeanmaries took Peoples to court because they believe he is liable for the returned check because Peoples had authorized the check with his signature.

The effect of correction of the error and change in accounting method on retained earnings and significant asset and liability accounts is as follows:
The facts of the above case are Cottage Savings Association exchange participation interests in its 252 mortgages to four savings and loan associations, getting back in return of 305 other mortgages that have the same fair market value in totality, however the fair market value of the mortgages that was sold is 2.4 million less than the original value. So, on its 1980 federal income tax return, cottage savings association claimed a deduction on their tax return, and the IRS refused to recognize the difference as a deductible loss.

Since Frank did not have any education, he did not run his financial operations effectively and this made him keep large amounts of cash at home. He also collaborated with a lot of police men to shield himself from the law through constant bribery and this made his organization to lack the stability it required.

Basically, he ruled with fear and this caused people that were working for him to resent his autocratic ways of management. in addition, some of them were police informers that became disloyal to Frank due to his unforgiving

FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts (CON) 5, Recognition and Measurement in Financial Statements of Business Enterprises, set forth the historic guiding principle to revenue recognition. Pursuant to paragraph 83, for revenue to be recognized it must be (a) realized or realizable and (b) earned. Revenues are “realized” when products, goods, services, or other assets are exchanged for cash or claims to cash. They are “realizable” when related assets received or held are readily convertible to known amounts of cash or claims of cash. Revenue is “earned” when an entity has “substantially accomplished what it must do to be entitled to the benefits represented by the revenues.” SEC Staff Accounting Bulleting (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition issued in December 2003 provided additional guidance to when revenue is realized or realizable and earned setting forth four basic criteria: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectibility is reasonable assured.
